Electronic Building Permit Submissions

We are now accepting electronic submissions of building permit applications and plans for residential construction, residential solar, and sign permits.

The City of Reno launched on July 1 the first phase of a program that allows for those applying for residential construction, residential solar, and sign building permits to submit applications and plans electronically rather than submitting hard copies in person at City Hall.
